Sure Looks Good For Me
Alicia Keys · As I Am [2007]
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Life is cheap, bittersweet
But it tastes good to me
Take my turn, crash and burn
That's how it's supposed to be
So don't rain on my parade
Life's too short to waste one day
I'm gonna risk it all, the freedom to fall
Yes it sure looks good to me
Time Flys by, it leaves you behind
Take it naturally
Heaven knows, oh, there's so much more
More than what they see
So don't rain on my parade
Life's too short to waste one day
I'm gonna risk it all, the freedom to fall
Yes it sure looks good to me
Hey, sure looks good to me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Deep in my mind I'm secure with getting by
I wanna see the light before I die
Or I lie in an empty space
The darkness comes and I been telling my soul,
And me, and myself, we turn around we're getting old
But the lighting crashing, foolish emotions
are the bruises and the beauty of this moment
That we're feelin and I feel like I'm seeing the world inside of me
But I can tell you that I know it's gettin easier to breath
There's a cold in the morning, endless equation
of who we've become it's a complex situation
So live, love life, give love
Live, love life, give love
Live, love life, give love
Cuz who are we anyway
So don't rain on my parade
Life's too short to waste one day
I'm gonna risk it all, the freedom to fall
Yes it sure looks good to me
Hey it sure looks good to me
Im telling you it sure looks good to me
Yeah
It sure looks go to me
me, yeah
Looks good to me
hooo
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
